I don’t think anyone expected major things like FotLK to never come back. It’s the smaller things I remain worried about.

Wow 19. Not saying anything bad or trying to downplay, but I'm surprised that small a number would even merit a filed notice.

FL law required the filing. It only merits a blog post because of our current environment and Disney’s economic situation. The headline certainly doesn’t match the news.

Per sources on WDWmagic there were supposed to be more announcements with FotLK but Disney only announced this one.

Idk, when it was first revealed those jobs had been laid off there were a lot of people here that claimed that no entertainment would come back. Many said it would take years for shows like this to come back because it would require rehiring these actors.

I get this is the internet, and it’s Disney, but this proves that jumping to conclusions is the worst way to react to this type of things. I’m also looking at you, comments saying DLR will never have APs again, and Disney will make guests walk from MCO to Disney World

Just temporary during Covid, right?

Perhaps Disney wants to space out some good news? They took a pretty hard hit with the DME announcement and good use a rebuild of good will.

That blog ain’t having a good day with baiting people

Aviary is being refurbished and there’s a new, temporary path.

Interesting. Maybe announcements tomorrow as friday is always announcement day historically by Disney. I’m hoping for Fantasmic! , Beauty and the Beast Live, and hopefully fireworks?

Fantasmic returning had rumors last week. Not imminent, but coming back “soon”. Probably the same timeframe as FotLK.

I doubt fireworks returning would get an announcement just yet, but I have a feeling we’re getting close to when that announcement will come.

I haven’t seen my gf since last Valentine’s Day weekend. She came down and we saw Lion King on Broadway. It’s been absolutely the worst thing about this pandemic. Toronto and NYC are so close but might as well be on different planets right now, and that hurts. I could give a flying f about Disney by comparison, except to the extent that it’s our happy place.

Have you considered flying? Airways have always been open between Canada and the US.

I would have bet the Indiana Joes came back before FotLK......out doors with more space and a way to alleviate some crowd levels in HS.....prob production costs might be the reason IDK

We don’t know what is coming back other than FotLK. As rteetz said, this was meant to be an announcement revealing multiple entertainment options. Indy could be one of those.

They're refurbishing part of the trail so they cut it short. The BlogMickey article said the refurbishment was supposed to last a month.

would be nice if they could open one new show in each park.

The Finding Nemo Show has always been a hit with my grand kids. It is just such a great show with the characters in the aisles and all the kites. Watching their faces always gave me the greatest joy.

I like that show to escape the Heat in Summer, BUTT boy are those benches the worst

 

[chicagoshannon]

So now what is summer to wdw?!

I'm personally hoping it means March this year. lol Then again I'm still hoping Remy opens next week while we're there. haha

I’ll cast my vote now for Laugh Floor at MK.

That’s being used as overflow queue for Buzz.

Wasn’t FotLK being used for a couple days as KS overflow? I think it discussed earlier that the comedians’ booth in Laugh Floor is tight, too.

Also, don’t kill my dreams

interesting. i wonder if that's because they are spreading it out to put these "good news" things in between any additional "bad news" things.
